IMPROVEMENT IN FLY-NETS FOR HORSES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom lit may conce-rn:

Be it known that I, J ACOB M. HARMAN, of Orangeville, Columbia county, State of Pennsylvania, have invented an' Improved Fly-N et for .Horses and I do hereby declare the following to be an exact description thereof, reference being had. to the accompanying drawings, and to t-he letters of reference marked thereon, making` a part of this specication, iu which- Figure 1 represents a top View of the fly-net, and

Figure 2, an under-side section of the same.

The nature of my invention consists in a fly-net composed of dat ribs, pierced with parallel holes, arranged diagonally across the rib, and lashes inserted in said holes, so as to form a diagonal stitch, in the manner described.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construetion, as il'ollows:

A represents the ribs of the ily-net, that are made oi' l'lat strips of leather or any suitable material.

Their ends are connected by braided braces B and C, and ornamented with tassels.

D is a breast-piece, thatis attached to the ribs by a buckle, E, or otherwise.

G are the lashes of the net, that are made of any suitable material, round or fiat.

The onc end of a lash is passed through the rib A from the lower side of the rib, and, crossing the rib on-the upper side obliquely and diagonally, is passed down again through the rib, forming a perfectly oblique and diagonal stitch, H, (see fig. 1,) on the upper side of the rib, and forming, also, two oblique angles, and a half knot on the under side of the rib, as shown at tio. 2.

aI do not claim the stitches of the lashes set parallel or at right angles with the rib, as they have been so made and used heretofore; but

That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv A fly-net, composed of dat ribs, pierced with parallel holes, arranged diagonally across the rib, and lashes inserted in said holes, so as to form a diagonal stitch, in the manner described.

J. M. HARMAN.
